These Are the Top 100 Hotel Restaurants in the U.S., According to OpenTable and Kayak
And with keeping the trend of hotel restaurants becoming destinations in their own right in mind, booking site Kayak and OpenTable worked together to release their first-ever list of the top 100 hotel restaurants in America. The list was created based on "diner insights" and spanned more than two dozen states, including spots from James Beard Award winners and Michelin-starred haunts.
"Hotel restaurants have become formidable players over the years as hoteliers have recognized the power of serving their guests memorable and locally-inspired dining experiences," Scott Hudson, the VP of global sales and services at OpenTable, said in a statement. "The hotel restaurants we have on OpenTable are not just attractive to the 60 percent of diners that use us while on the road—but many are equally as popular among locals too."
Orlando topped the list with seven total restaurants in the area (which also encompassed Lake Buena Vista and Golden Oak), including Nami, the Bull & Bear Steakhouse, and Ravello at Four Seasons Orlando. Next was Las Vegas where six Sin City restaurants make the list. Those included Beauty & Essex, the Catch at Aria, and Momofuku Las Vegas.
Miami also boasted five of the top hotel restaurants in the country, including Gianni's at the Former Versace Mansion, and The Roof at Esmé.
Other highlights on the list included California's three Michelin-starred Addison in the Fairmont Grand Del Mar and Philadelphia's Vernick Fish from James Beard-winning Chef Greg Vernick.
The abundance of incredible hotel restaurants is great news considering nearly half of Americans (47 percent) said they have booked a trip specifically to visit a restaurant, according to the study."Travelers aren't just asking 'Where should I go?' They're asking 'What's on the menu when I get there?'" Kate Williams, the chief communications officer at Kayak, said in the statement. "Great dining experiences are an essential part of today's travel itineraries, and hotels are rising to the occasion."
To complete the study, Kayak and OpenTable surveyed more than 1,000 Americans who had dined at a restaurant in a hotel within the last five years as well as looked at data on flight and hotel searches made on Kayak between Jan. 1 and June 22. OpenTable also analyzed seated diners by traveler type from online reservations for all active hotel restaurants on the OpenTable platform in the United States between June 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025.

Largest RV dealer reports strong profit despite closing 16 stores
Owning a recreational vehicle (RV) and spending a year, or a few years, traveling around the world is still a dream for me and my husband. When we were younger, we often wondered why people whom we usually saw driving RVs were always older than us (we were in our early 20s then). It didn't take long to figure it out - the expense. RVs are quite pricey, but the cost matches the offering - adventurous, unrestrained, and liberating traveling. The best kind! Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter How much does an RV cost? According to HomeGuide, it's between $20,000 and $600,000 on average. Or more precisely: $20,000 – $100,000 average towable RV price;$50,000 – $600,000 average RV motorhome price;Up to $5,000,000 for a luxury RV. Thankfully, for those who are still not able to own one, there are options of renting or buying a used one. Over the last couple of years, RVs have become more popular. It started with the Covid pandemic when travel trailer sales experienced a notable boost, earning them the nickname "Covid campers." Many Americans were desperate to travel during the crisis but feared being infected. The safest option turned out to be a camper. And the popularity of RVs seems to have continued in the post-pandemic environment. Camping World (CWH) is one of the biggest retailers of RVs, RV accessories, and RV-related services in the United States. It has operated for 59 years and went public nine years ago, raising $251 million. Related: Delta Air Lines faces pushback over new pricing policies On July 29, the retailer posted impressive second-quarter results with $2 billion in revenue, up 9.4% from the same period last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share missed analysts' estimates, delivering $0.57 instead of the projected $0.6. However, earnings per share improved 50% from the previous quarter. More importantly, Camping World set a record in quarterly RV sales, selling 45,602 units - including 26,696 new and 18,906 used units - in the three months ended June 30. Both new and used RV sales improved over 20%, indicating the popularity of RVs, writes RVtravel. The largest RV dealer has also faced challenges in the last few months. Since January, the company has had to lay off 1,000 employees. "That's an unfortunate circumstance, but we have made the hard cuts," explained Camping World CEO Marcus A. Lemonis during an earnings conference.

One of the store closures was particularly unusual. It all started in October 2024, when Camping World hung a gigantic American flag at the company's location on the corner of Evans Street and Red Banks Road in Greenville, North Carolina. Related: Popular energy drink pulled from shelves for containing vodka According to council members, the flag is close to the size of a basketball court and flies on a 130-foot-tall pole, almost double the size of the current regulations. City lawmakers voted to take legal action against the flag because it violates city ordinance, and they fined Lemonis $15,000. The dispute impacted the company's business in Greenville, as the company had to close one of its two stores there. The lawsuit was officially filed in June and is costing the city a whole lot of money - thousands in taxpayer dollars. In early July, Camping World was said to be facing $27,500 in fines, while the city is fining it $250 per day until the flag is removed or complies with the rules, reports News ABC 12. Camping World Representatives requested 30 more days to respond to the suit, taking matters into August. So far, Lemonis reiterated several times he has no plans to take the flag down, as it represents something very personal for him - a symbol of his childhood dream. Looking forward, business-wise, Lemonis says the company is confident in its "mid-cycle earnings power." It projects to generate well over $500 million of adjusted EBITDA and aims to expand gross margins by 100 basis points over the next 18 months. Earlier in June, Camping World expressed support for the One Big Beautiful Bill, especially praising the RV loan interest deduction provision, which would "provide RV families with long overdue affordability relief after years of rising inflation, and stubbornly high interest rates." Year-to-date, Camping World's shares have dropped 34.35%, trading at $13.84 per share.

Enjoy a free visit to any national park on Great American Outdoors Day
Spending time outside in nature is synonymous with summertime, and to ensure Americans enjoy it to the fullest, the National Park Service is offering free admission to any of its parks for one day, in celebration of Great American Outdoors Day. What is Great American Outdoors Day? The NPS created this free park entrance day on Aug. 4 to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the enactment of the Great American Outdoors Act. The legislation, described as "the single largest investment in public lands in U.S. history," was signed into law on Aug. 4, 2020, according to the Department of the Interior. "The Great American Outdoors Act ... is a historic investment in the protection and sustainment of our public lands and Bureau of Indian Education (BIE)-funded schools. GAOA established the National Parks and Public Land Legacy Restoration Fund (GAOA LRF) to address overdue maintenance needs," the DOI states on its website. It adds, "By addressing the maintenance backlog, we help ensure that visitors and staff are safe and comfortable as they access our national parks, public lands and roads, national wildlife refuges, and BIE-funded schools." National Park Service celebrates Great American Outdoors Day with free admission While many national parks are typically free to visit, some require entry passes or fees, according to the NPS website. Busier parks may also require a reservation. However, on Monday, Aug. 4, to celebrate Great American Outdoors Day, the National Park Service is offering free admission to all parks, including those that typically require an entry fee. "Entrance fees will not be charged on August 4, 2025, in celebration of the Great American Outdoors Act's anniversary. Everyone is encouraged to visit parks to experience the benefits of GAOA projects," the NPS states. If you're interested in taking advantage of the free entry day, grab your hiking shoes, sunscreen, and reusable water bottles, and click here to search for a park near you to visit on Aug. 4.
